Both allow debate and discussion in a civilized manner with no name calling. You state your case and it goes from there. However, in both these clubs you cannot hide behind your computer, you are face to face with the world and your views are on display for all to see and discuss. Some interesting and intelligent debates.
I still do not understand why perceptions like the above are presented as a general description of the political forum....yes there was a minority of those who deserve to be categorized as such.....the majority of us played by the rules.
